Disneyland Vacation 2012

We recently had one of the funest vacations yet. We took a road trip to Las Vegas to spend a few days with Rick and then we went to Anaheim California and spent three days in Disney Land and California Adventure. It was so much fun! I really think it is the happiest place on earth. Greydon had a blast and to see the amazement in his eyes was something else. He still talks about it every day and tells everyone that he saw a ghost at the haunted house and he saw a witch. For some reason the Witch in the Snow White ride really left an impression. He went around and got an autograph from all of the characters we could find. The below pictures are the ones I made for his book to go besides each characters signature.

Valentines Day

Darin and I have a tradition of staying home and having a nice meal on Valentines day. This was the 6th year in a row we have stuck with the tradition of Crab legs, Steak, Asparagus and this year we added Lobster. It was absolutely delicious! We also don't exchange gifts on V-day either, but Darin did buy me some beautiful flowers.

 

Unlike last year we remembered to get Grey some cards to pass out at daycare

 Yummy dinner

 Grey chose a more traditional meal of Mac-N-Cheese for his dinner

 

Greydon's Play Room

We have been working on finishing some of our basement this winter. I decided on utilizing the space under our stairs as a play room for Greydon. I picked the brightest colors I could and went to town. It turned out super cute! we even cut a window out so he can look up the stairs and added a magnetic chalk board. These pictures were taken before the carpet was put in.

Happy Birthday Jaret

 

For Jaret's birthday we went to Fat Cat's and ate pizza, played video games, miniature golf and bumper cars. It was a lot of fun! We won a lot of tickets and thought for sure we would be able to redeem them for something cool...we were wrong over 800 tickets and we got a cheap plastic microphone, cheap plastic car and a few tootsie rolls. It was OK because Grey love it all anyways. My mom also had a separate dinner for him too (but I did not take pictures).

 

Cute Cupcake Face =)

 

Happy Birthday to Me

This year it seemed as if my birthday lasted a week (probably because it did). The Saturday before we went out to dinner with some of best friends to Kobe. It is one of my favorite restaurants and I was so glad some of my friends could come. The next day we went to Diana's for dinner to celebrate my birthday and Amy's. The food was yummy and everyone had a great time. It is always fun to get Greydon around his cousins to play he has such a fun time. When Tuesday came (my actual birthday) Darin, Greydon and I went to Maddox in Brigham city for dinner. They have delicious prime rib! The for the last celebration the following Thursday we went to my Mom's for dinner since Jaret had that day off. She made me corned beef and cabbage (my favorite) and a yummy cake for desert. I was lucky enough to have Maree and Lilli join us too.

 

Overall it was a great birthday. Lot's of food, family and friends!
